...Terriers, now 0-9, are having an even rougher campaign. B.U. has a rich women's hockey tradition but was thrown into the gutter overnight when it lost to graduation five of its six forwards, all four defensemen and its goalie last year. B.U. doesn't even have a coach now, although Captain Betsy Garthway has been interviewing candidates and experts to have the post filled by the tournament. Lori Daigle leads the Terriers in scoring; she has two goals...
...bloody, entertaining tragicomedy that functions both as tabloid journalism (The Rise and Fall of a Drug King) and as cautionary fable. Tony Montana may be exterminated by the hired guns of a rival narcotics boss, but he is effectively dead long before that, fallen not into the gutter but facedown in a candy mountain of cocaine. He had broken the crime lord's first commandment-Don't get high on your own supply-and become a zombie before the first machine-gun blast ever...

It would seem that the only...
Certainly, by comparison to reportage in France and Italy, West Germany's coverage is more factual, if not always sufficiently careful or thorough; it is also less polemic, and less acutely polarized between journals of highbrow analysis and sensational gutter tabloids. There is a stronger tradition of investigative reporting in West Germany than in neighboring countries, though far less than in the U.S. West German reporters were encouraged to develop American-style standards of accuracy and objectivity by U.S. occupation forces in the 1940s and 1950s. Moreover, many of today's senior journalists were educated partly...
